Food Scene

The bakery located right next to the restaurant is one of the best in town. I would recommend arriving early for their freshly baked Ham & Cheese Croissants, as they tend to sell out quickly.

Any local will tell you that this is the best southern style breakfast place in town. They have some of the cheapest good eats, and a competitive breakfast special. This place is always packed, but service is stellar.

Richard and Red are top wait persons. Strata is out of this world and the Hollandaise is fantastic! Grouper sandwich is an absolute must try! I'd recommend getting the pasta salad instead of the fries for a special treat!

The best Italian restaurant in St. Petersburg, hands down. You absolutely have to try the Badda Bing! It's made right in front of you and has to be the best pasta dish I've ever tasted in my life.

Arts & Culture

Featuring more works from the surrealist painter than any other museum in the world; not only is this museum chock full of some of Dali's most famous works, but the architecture is a work of art in of itself.

Drinks & Nightlife

Cool and trendy atmosphere. Most of the patrons are younger and hipsterish, but everyone is very friendly. The bar features local art and often has live music on the weekends. Their Moscow Mule is pretty kick ass too!
